An adorable baby monkey is among the new star attractions at a Staffordshire wildlife attraction.

Staff at Trentham Monkey Forest have welcomed three new additions to the forest - two baby boys and one little girl - with the births of the baby Barbary macaques.

Barbary macaques usually give birth up in the trees at night, and so staff at the monkey forest did not find out until the following morning when they spotted the tiny bundles clinging to their mothers, Burton Live reports.

Staff at the forest are currently on standby and watching the new mums get to grips with their babies.

The Barbary macaques are an endangered species, with only an estimated 8,000 surviving in the wild, and every birth is crucial for the species.

Director of the monkey forest, Matt Lovatt, said: "It's such an exciting time in the forest and one all staff and our visitors look forward to.

"These new arrivals are the forest's first babies since 2017 so we have been very excited for them to make an appearance.

"Each birth is important to us and the species, considering its endangered status.

"With the challenges that wild Barbary macaques face, through deforestation and the illegal pet trade, we hope that the new babies will help us to tell their story too."
